My oldest Son (Mike) took my13 year old Granddaughter (Sarah) on a week long hunting trip to the Stokes Ranch in Texas (historically know as “2 Wells Ranch”) a couple weeks ago. She managed to take a few animals and humiliate most of the adult males on the trip. She took 3 white-tailed deer (5 pt, 6 pt & 8 pt), an Axis deer, a black buck antelope and a Dall ram. The Dall ram and the Axis deer both make the Texas record book. The antelope scored 124 and four eighths (Bronze record book). The ram scored 94 and one eighth (Gold record book).
This was Sarah’s first major hunting trip, although she has been hunting and shooting locally for quite some time. She has developed into an excellent marksman and hunter. She took 7 shots on the trip and recorded 6 kills. (I will have to talk with her about that 1 miss) The shots were as follows:
Blackbuck antelope - 135 yards
5 point whitetail - 160 yards
6 point whitetail - 145 yards
8 point whitetail - 80 yards
Dall ram - 135 yards
Axis deer - 180 yards
Grandkids can sure make proud Grandparents. ! ! ! ! ! !
